Oh yeah i post my struggles, and my downsides, ie dancing thighs AND everyone knows i can eat whatever i want whenever i want and however much i want:(

Sheena is Inside out... she posted on page 214:D

I agree Tina: cause if someone had lunch with us they would know we are also the complete opposite story. I was walking on the treadmill 4 hrs after i was released from the hospital.... Yeah i had pain, but was only on pain meds for 2 days... I have not PBed, Gotten stuck or vomited. Everything goes down WAY TO DARN EASILY. And i have lost 37 lbs since surgery 79 total more then i ever have also. I would also do it again in a heart beat. Thats what is so cool about people is how we all are so different. And unfortunately our lovely Tina has had the most issues with her band:frown: but still loves it.

Heather i hate kaisers scales, and they are all different lol. Go Tina stick up for all of us girls:D I agree Sheena we love you but if you are going to post you need to post the parts about lunch meat not going down even though you are an RNY.. and other struggles you have had that I as a bandster have not had any of.... All of our bodies are different and all of our bodies react different to each surgery. But you do need to say more of what yo uhave gone thru instead of just the positive. After all this IS a LAP BAND board, you don't need to confuse everyone with Gastric Bypass positive only stories.. It is a personal decision, and honestly if anyone is on a Lap Band board then they have already 90% made up their mind that they want a less invasive procedure done. Until someone comes bragging about her weight loss. Like i said you are welcome on our board but keep in mind this is a Lap Band board not a gastric board, and all of us lap band girls are very close to goal.... Close to our Low goal at that.

Oh wow that is weired considering u are so close to Richmond, maybe they want to hold richmond open for the Sacramento patients since we drive 2 hrs to go there??? who knows..

Also remember Listen to what Sheena is saying about Dr Park as a Dr dont take the loss to to heart. Because Most of us lost 30 lbs in 6 weeks. With both surgeries you loose pretty darn easy in the first 8 weeks. Then the weight loss slows to 2 lbs or 1 lb a week for average. Both surgeries are good. One just doesnt chop your insides to hell:) And also you can eat sugars with one...

I think its total loss. Tina you are so close your gonna hit ur goal FOR SURE! I think you should stick with park.. she is a nice lady:) And your appt is soon! It just sucks that reggie has her cause she cant be involved in our group fills or group nutrition and that sucks, but its all good:D No matter what you will get your fill via the surgeon which matters and you will get your one on one with Robin for nutrtion after your first fill. So just take what ya can:D

Riley, baggs is now Chief of Surgery... i think they all share the title. He was atleast when i had surgery... if you look at your surgery questionnaire when u are already banded.. the one that asks how great they were... it says his name... But i bet she is just as good, they really do have a great team! I say go to the thing if she says to loose more then 10% ask for baggs:) But it should be fine:D

I had 105 to loose ive lost 78 so ive lost 75%. Wow thats nuts. Im so proud of us! I don't think any of us will have to worry about not hitting goal.....

Now you know why I brought it up! Baggs told me when i started most bandsters only loose 50% of their excess... well we have all either passed it or are GOING TO! We are definitely the rock stars!!!:wub: So bin number 1 and 2 are packed.. the wash bin and the dry stuff bin;)

Oh cute Riley! Wish i woulda known about those.. but oh well i am outa time lol. No more shoppin for me:) BTW who else is campin this weekend, i know im Thur- Sun and Christine is Fri-sun and now riley is Sat-Tues lol anyone else?? Walmart sure feels it.. boy all their stuff is like sold out!

Riley im so glad it worked! Im also glad to know he works with us.:wub: I want to know what he considers a success... Cause i know most of us that are now banded have lost almost or more then 50% of our excess BF.. So is that when he considers us a success or when we are in the normal range.. Cause i remember him saying a long time ago he will be happy if i loose 50% of my excess bf. Who knows... Went shopping for camping OK camping healthy wise is VERY EXSPENSIVE! We used to do like hot dogs and burgers. This time i got steak and stuff for the shish kabobs, so vegies and meat my bill in the end for 4 days is drum roll please...... 135!!!! holy moly! I hate when i dont know what i buy:( I was a bad naughty naughty girl and got a 6 pack, but i did because i know my family will be having margaritas and shots and all these more fattening beverages, and I used to partake, this time i can say nope i got my own... Watch none of them will be drank.. lol but how im tellin myself is if i dont drink them i cant drink anything. I just dont want to get into the shot rounds and margarita rounds with everyone, you know how easy it is to put away booze then..........

Aww audrey is staring out the slider saying Duckie Duckie:( How sad:(

LOL totally!

Yeah give her a try. She cant be bad:) She does got a good team standing behind her. The only thing you will have to deal with is you will have to drive the extra 30 to richmond instead of pinole for your fill.. She doesnt do the group fill like baggs does:D

OH duck update! the duck is at her new pond lovin it:( I miss my poor duck:( We brought her to him yesterday and he was able to pet her and her LEG! omg.. she liked him! A match amde in heaven:D Then on our way home lol........ We saw this GIANT bull frog ill attach a pic.. He was huge, we tried catching him to put him in our back yard for a new pet lol. But each of his hops was about 2 feet long so mike couldnt get him:D

Chris why dont you just send me the menu! lol i am being so lazy! My goodness i haven't touched my menu:( Yeah anxiety sucks, but i dont know how natural child birth is, but if you had a Csection its pretty much the same how you dont wanna move for a week but you have to..:wub:

Hi ladies! Chris it will be nice to see ya:) So now i guess ur campin meal plans are diff, i thought you were happy to be on liquids:D I am so stressed out, i have to start packing today we go campin tomorrow to sunday. Do you think ive started?????? I also am still fighting the carb weight gain but about a .5 a lb is lost every day from it so by next week i should be back lol. Well Reggie if u check this more often then FB pls call me:D 530.263.8390 Have a good day girls!:wub: I think im gonna do eggs all day:)

Yay! So happy you went! Yeah they are very strong willed:) Who was the surgeon??? They arent always that tough they do try to weed out the not so serious people. So now is the time to really loose weight you can be in surgery in 12 weeks!:thumbdown:

Fremont wow, that is crazy! Good thing you called on it:) Smart thing you called Id hate for you to have to do 2 orientations:D

Fremont wow, that is crazy! Good thing you called on it:) Smart girl!

Heather btw, i am so happy for you! Inches are the best arent they!

Good Morning Ladies. Oh my goodness, i had some of the rudest people here last night Mikes friends invited themselves over after we went swimming, which was fine. Well about 9 oclock, yeah 1 hr after we got home i was crashing.. and hard. I was yawning and finally fell asleep on them. Beth the lady was like omg did you fall asleep. I was like oh yeah sorry im beyond exhaustion into delirious.. do you think they left.. nope. I was so tempted to just go to bed but im not that rude, lol ill just fall asleep... well at 12 midnight Dj mikes friend says we should really go im getting tired Im thinking to myself AND WHAT ABOUT ME. ONE MORE hour goes by THEY ARE STILL HERE. Finally at 1:30 i stand up and get my pjs on and come out to give mike a hug and he tells them we are going to bed, finally they go home. HAVE YOU EVER had people over stay their welcome??? I always leave soo early because I dont want to, and these people didn't get the hint after i fell asleep at 10!:thumbdown: Ok so i did day 3 of week 2 today in 90 degree heat omgosh what was i thinking. Im tired from the heat lol. But i did it. The scale is NOT my friend today, but what was i thinking seriously, all i ate yesterday was mainly CARBS CARBS CARBS. Tonight we are going to the chinese place with mikes fam i think im just going to have crab and some broccoli and prob one crab puff. Crab is the lowest call thing i will find there... I gotta get me back down. What is good is i know i didnt eat 3 lbs worth of crap yesterday, im just retention queen today (riley im right there with ya) Im REALLY scared about camping this weekend now.... I had no control out at the river! I think im gonna load up on fruits and stuff for the trip. I pray noone brings any tempting foods. I think i found my sabotage in mikes family.... HIS MOM. She is the one who brought the whole bag of chips, candy, gold fish, bread, crackers, oh and some strawberries and grapes. So i got a pair of shorts from wally whats nice about them is they are a perfect fitting 12, loose but not too loose but not tight. BUT here is the deal, teh ZIPPER! oh my goodness. one day it zips right the next it like misses the teeth and doesnt. I pulled the stupid tags off after i thought i had fixed the darn shorts. Oh well guess i get to fix them over and over:(

Oh yeah and donna thanks for remindin:) lol the duck goes to her home tomorrow:(
